American Dream

I’ve been challenged lately to rethink why we do the things we do. Why we say the things we say. Why we wear the things we wear. You get the idea.  Your probably sitting there thinking one of 2 things. Either that I sound like that 5 year old kid that asks too many questions (yes I was that kid) or that I sound like a silly girl trying to sound deep and philosophical. Either way, we decided I would be real didn’t we? Okay so back to the matter at hand. 

My eyes have been opened to different perspectives on so many things, and I don’t say this with a condescending tone that you too should look outside your own little world, because you can only live why what you know, and you can only know what you experience.  This experience has certainly challenged what I think I know, and I’m sure will ultimately inspire the way I live.  “I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full” John 10:10 I’m so excited to see what’s instore! or better put by Despicable Me’s Gru “I have pins and needles that I am sitting on.” 

Oh yea and one fun little anecdote of being “Aussed in translation” I’ll share with you from the amazing retreat I just got back from. So I was entertaining little Hannah (she’s 3) during dinner by being the voice of her little Barbie, when suddenly a girl I had just met says to me “You are really lame aren’t you” after staring at her with a look of both confusion and offense she decided it best to explain herself. APPARENTLY lame here means corny rather than sucky, and we all know I am totally proud to be called corny!
